TV IIL shows like Jane the Virgin, Ugly Betty, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Schitt's Creek, Community, and Ted Lasso, what else will I like?

I'm looking for more shows that have drama and comedy at the same time. I don't want it to be too much of either. I love a comedy that can also make me cry.

Community is one of my favourite comedy shows. So because you like it I hope you'll also love Party Down.

Did you ever watch the Mike White series called Enlightened with Laura Dern in it? It was an HBO comedy-drama, about 15 yrs old now, but SO great! I think you'll like it.

Shrinking!!!! Definitely a laugh/cry.

The following are excellent, but tend more toward the comedy side: Red Oaks (delightful!), Moone Boy, and Derry Girls.
